I think the Nostr economy is based on getting a percentage of the commission from each user to zap⚡️. Nostr developers build good products, more people use Nostr, people zap⚡️ People and posts here, developers get a portion of the sats commission reward from zap, and then go on to develop products and provide services. This is a virtuous economic cycle. The more people use it, the more rewards there are, and with good rewards you can build a better product.
Value creates value, and happily Will says this is already on Nostr's roadmap.
